Unsolicited Telegram “support”
A search result or ad points you straight to a Telegram operator instead of a regulated customer-service portal.
This page documents a first-hand experience with the “REX · Virtual Visa Card” Telegram mini app and its affiliated support brands. After a 1,000 USDT deposit was made on the promise of an anonymous Visa card, the in-app withdrawal silently failed and a sequence of additional “activation fees” was demanded. No proof of a successful withdrawal was ever provided.
Brands and infrastructure observed:
TQU2MPLR…h2Rwq (partially masked — full address available to investigators on request)A close family member was persuaded to deposit cryptocurrency into the REX · Virtual Visa Card mini app based on promises of an anonymous Visa card, instant withdrawals, and a long-running reputation. Once the deposit was made, withdrawals stopped working and the only path offered out was to send more money — first as a “TRX network activation”, then as a $10,000 “Private Access” tier that supposedly unlocks real withdrawals.
We built rexscammers.com so that the next person who searches for the REX card before depositing finds a clear, evidence-backed warning instead of only the operators’ own marketing pages.
Reconstructed from the actual Telegram exchange documented further down this page. Names, handles, wallet addresses, and transaction hashes are verifiable in the chat transcript and on the Tron blockchain.
A search for the REX Virtual Visa Card leads to rexcardly.com/contact.html, which advertises
“Telegram support — fastest way, average reply under 5 minutes, 24/7. Card setup, deposits, KYC.”
and pushes the user to @Rexchangebot.
The mini app and its operator market an anonymous virtual Visa with no KYC, online payments, and ATM withdrawals in 190+ countries, backed by claims such as “300,000 active users” and “30,000 reviews” on an in-channel rating page.
To “activate” the card the user is told to deposit USDT (TRC-20) first. In the documented case,
a 1,000 USDT deposit was sent to TQU2MPLR…h2Rwq
(tx hash retained on file for investigators).
The operator (Stanislav) then asks the user to “log in to Trust Wallet using your passphrase” to authorize the top-up wallet — a classic wallet-drainer pattern. When refused for obvious security reasons, the request pivots.
The operator sends a QR code and asks the user to approve a “small 10 TRX confirmation.” In documented wallet-drainer schemes, what looks like a tiny fee approval is in fact an unlimited token-spending allowance for a malicious contract.
Once the deposit lands, the in-app withdrawal silently fails. The user is told the address “needs activation” with another 30 TRX top-up sent to the same deposit address before withdrawals will work.
A 100 USDT “bonus” is auto-credited on top of the 1,000 USDT deposit and immediately declared non-withdrawable until “wagering requirements” are met in a Trading Account or Staking section — predatory-gambling mechanics dressed up inside a payments product.
The user is then pushed to deposit a total of 10,000 USDT to unlock “Private Access,” which supposedly grants “real-time 2-second withdrawals.” This is the standard sunk-cost escalation pattern used by investment- and recovery-scam playbooks.
Throughout the exchange, every security concern is deflected with appeals to authority — “we have 300,000 users,” “we value our reputation,” “we operate with the utmost integrity” — without ever providing a single verifiable proof of withdrawal.
A close family member came across the REX · Virtual Visa Card service through a Google search result that pointed
to rexcardly.com/contact.html. The page presented a polished, customer-support-style landing area and
directed users to a Telegram bot that promised activation in minutes, with no KYC and instant withdrawals.
On that basis a 1,000 USDT deposit was sent to the address provided. From the moment the funds settled on chain, the experience changed completely. The in-app withdrawal would not process. The operator asked for the wallet passphrase, then for a QR-code approval, then for an additional 30 TRX “activation”, then for a further deposit of 9,000 USDT to reach “Private Access.” Each refusal was met with a new variation of the same demand.
No screenshot, no transaction hash, no on-chain trace of a successful customer withdrawal was ever produced — only verbal reassurances about user counts and reputation. This pattern, combined with the wallet-authorization and QR-code requests, matches well-documented crypto-drainer playbooks.
The financial and emotional impact on the family was significant. This page exists so that the next person researching the REX brand before depositing has a chance to make an informed decision — and so other victims know they are not alone and have a clear path to report what happened.
These are the patterns that recurred in the REX exchange, and that recur across the majority of crypto and Telegram scams documented by IC3, FTC, and Chainabuse over the last several years.
A search result or ad points you straight to a Telegram operator instead of a regulated customer-service portal.
The operator claims to issue Visa/Mastercard themselves with “no KYC”. No real card issuer works this way.
You are asked to “log in” to your Trust Wallet, MetaMask, or any wallet with your seed phrase. Never enter a seed phrase anywhere except the wallet app itself.
A QR code is scanned to “confirm a tiny fee.” In drainer scams this approval grants unlimited token spending to a malicious contract.
You can deposit instantly but cannot withdraw without sending an additional “activation fee.” Real exchanges deduct fees from the withdrawal.
A surprise bonus is credited and then locked behind “wagering” or “staking” requirements — a casino mechanic inside a supposed payments product.
Each new step introduces a new fee (10 TRX, then 30 TRX, then $10,000 for “Private Access”).
Despite claims of hundreds of thousands of users, the operator cannot or will not show a single on-chain customer withdrawal.
“300,000 users,” “30,000 reviews,” “we value our reputation” — used as a substitute for verifiable proof.
“Just 5 minutes,” “the QR will expire,” “top up first and we’ll process immediately.”

Amount sent: 1000 TRX_USDT
Recipient: TQU2MPLR…h2Rwq

Okay, it literally takes just 5 minutes. To activate it, you’ll need to confirm the free transaction using Trust Wallet. The card will then be activated in your RexWallet account. Do you prefer Visa, MasterCard, or UnionPay?

RexChange Stanislav
Okay.
Could you please authorize the top-up wallet in Trust Wallet? To activate the card?

Me (the Victim)

I’m using Trustee Wallet only. However, for security reasons, I cannot share my passphrase or private wallet access. If there is another way to activate the card using only my wallet address or a standard verification process, please let me know.
RexChange Stanislav
I’ll get everything ready and send it to you straight away. You’ll be able to use the card without any limits.
Me (the Victim)
👍
RexChange Stanislav
Yes, you don’t need to provide any details whatsoever. We work with Trustee Wallet, so there’s no problem. We’re in partnership with them.
It’s just that they’re two different companies, and I’ve got a bit confused.
As a bonus, we’ll activate a cash withdrawal card for you. It’s also completely anonymous, with a limit of €3,000.

ERC-20 or TRC-20?
Could you please explain why you need an ERC-20 wallet address? I am not using an ERC-20 wallet address for this setup, so I would like to understand the reason and how it is related to activating or receiving the card.

I’m sorry, I got the wrong conversation.

Is it possible to deposit only 1,000 USDT? I only need one card, not 10 cards. Please let me know if there is a smaller package or minimum deposit option available for a single private card.
REX · Virtual Visa Card — 15:47
REX Support: These cards have no restrictions. They can be used for any online payments. There are no spending limits either; we’ve charged them for amounts close to $100,000, and the transactions went through.
REX · Virtual Visa Card — 15:47
REX Support: Yes, we can issue a card even with a deposit of 1,000 USDT. We’ll issue the card for free, and you’ll be able to use your 1,000 right away.

REX Support: Sure, we’ll send you your physical card.
RexChange Stanislav
Please 1 min.
Me (the Victim)
I do not fully understand why I need to confirm another transaction for 10 TRX when I already deposited USDT into your app. Could you please explain the relationship between the Trustee Wallet and the card activation process? I would like to understand why an additional wallet confirmation is required and what exactly the 10 TRX transaction is for.
RexChange Stanislav
Sure.
This is a simplified method of company verification. We have bypassed all standard activation procedures that require the submission of documents so that users do not have to go through KYC, and we confirm everything with an electronic signature. Thank you.
QR Expire.
Once you’re ready, I’ll send you a new one.
Me (the Victim)
There are many documented scams where attackers ask victims to scan a QR code, connect a wallet, approve a transaction, or “authorize” a wallet, and then drain the wallet afterward. What you are asking me to do with the 10 TRX confirmation is very similar to known “wallet drainer” scams. You may think you are approving only 10 TRX, but the transaction could actually grant unlimited USDT spending approval, smart-contract control, or wallet access permissions. The fact that you first asked about passphrases, then switched stories, then requested wallet authorization, then requested QR scanning and a TRX confirmation, makes this extremely high risk.
RexChange Stanislav
This doesn’t apply to us; we have over 300,000 users, and we value our customers and the reputation we’ve built up over the years.
Me (the Victim)
I understand, and I appreciate your explanation. However, from my perspective, the process still looks very similar to the scams I mentioned earlier, especially because it involves wallet authorization and confirming a crypto transaction through a QR code. For my own security, could you please provide another method to activate the card that does not require connecting or confirming transactions through my wallet?
RexChange Stanislav
You’ll see exactly what’s required of you — and nothing more. I’ve made this as simple as possible for you. You previously mentioned that you don’t need the $10,000 USDT private access plan, which allows you to get 10 cards without verification or any other procedures. You can start using your cards right away.
You don’t have to use the entire amount; you can make a deposit and a withdrawal. You’ll still be granted private access.
Sure, no problem. You can top up your wallet and activate the card; you’ll receive 10 units and private access. And you can withdraw your USDT back.
I would simply recommend setting aside some money on these cards to cover the cost of the services.
Me (the Victim)
already done
How much does it cost to activate the card?
RexChange Stanislav
In that case, if you’ve deposited 10,000 USDT, you’ll see 10 cards in your account. And you can start using them right away.
Me (the Victim)
I need only one
RexChange Stanislav
Private access does not require activation. You will receive activated cards immediately. Access to this service starts at 10,000 USDT. Simply deposit the funds, and then withdraw your USDT back. Leave 1,000 for expenses, and that will be enough.

Or maybe he is not telling the truth.
RexChange Stanislav
The support agent probably didn’t express himself clearly. However, private access to Web Maps is only available to users who have deposited 10,000 USDT or more. But let me reiterate: you can withdraw funds, taking into account any bonuses that must be spent either in your Trading Account or in Staking.
I’ll give you a private card right now. It’ll only take a minute.

Me (the Victim)
The app withdrawals are not working.
RexChange Stanislav
You cannot withdraw your bonus until you have met the wagering requirements. And to make a withdrawal, you need to top up your wallet with 30 TRX.
You deposited 1,000 and received a 100 USDT bonus. Everything is working as it should.
Me (the Victim)
RexChange Stanislav
Deposit 30 TRX. To avoid any favouritism. And repeat the withdrawal.
Me (the Victim)
First, I want to ensure that your app is trustworthy. Then I will deposit 10,000 USDT.
RexChange Stanislav
Sure, but trust me — 30,000 reviews on the app and 300,000 active users. That says something.
Me (the Victim)

RexChange Stanislav
We work to build our reputation.
Make a deposit, and we’ll manually transfer the funds to the wallet of your choice. No need to worry. You can then manage your own cash flow going forward. Once you gain access to the private mode, we’ll grant you full verification. Deposits and withdrawals will then be processed in real time, taking just 2 seconds.
And rest assured, we operate with the utmost integrity. Thank you. Sincerely, Stanislav.
Me (the Victim)
You can deduct it from my balance.

↪ replying to “Deposit 30 TRX. To avoid any favouritism…”
30 TRX
RexChange Stanislav
Don’t worry. The total deposit amount is taken into account, and your balance is already 1,060 USDT. That means you need 8,940 for Private Access.
You need to top up your account, as this is a system feature.
Me (the Victim)
I want to ensure that your app works as stated and that the money can be withdrawn successfully. If it works as you said, I will feel more confident and then deposit the remaining USDT.
RexChange Stanislav
You can successfully withdraw funds, but you need to activate your TRX address. Without activation, there will be a 48-hour hold.
